This is a little over your budget, but it's OS and it's awesome:

Not OS, but still a good motor and within your budget:

A little over your budget, but has a good reputation. No first-hand experience myself:

Also a good engine, well within your budget, but not as suited to racing as the others, which is probably fine for you:
